34 Best Mexican Restaurants in Tustin

“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️“

“great food good price will return again“

“The tacos were good, I got the azteca taco that had cecina with the cactus, the asada and cabeza. The cabeza was soft, the asada was ok the cecina was pretty good along with the catcus. The salsas were also decent. It's in a market station so you can grab your own drinks and snacks too.

The staff was nice and helpful with the choices on the menu. The seating is outside with a couple of propped umbrellas which is nice during the hot days. Overall decent place.“

“I think I just had three of the best tacos of 2024. I walked in here expecting things to be good l, but DAMN these were some delicious tacos. Quesabirria, fried fish, and grilled shrimp were unreal! Brought together with two perfect salsas, the tacos were flavorful, distinct, and filling. You don’t want to miss El Bandito.“

“BEST FISH TACOS !!! And spicey salsas are sooo good !!“

“The Best Fich Tacos in OC.“

“Best Taco Tuesday in Tustin at $1.50-2.00 per taco. 3 tacos are enough for lunch, but I usually order 4. I also add a large cold Horchata (cinnamon rice drink) $2.99 and a side of 3 grilled salted Jalapenos $0.75 (not on the menu). This is the closest Mexican street food without driving to Mexico. Enjoy!“

“Hidden gem ? place, authentic Mexican flavor tacos & dishes, flavored waters also my favorite is lemon with cucumber & chia, workers are fast & efficient from my POV ambience is cool, there's always Kinda festive Mexican music, but I always go after my working hours so is always near closing time and few ppl, so my guess earlier during day might be busier & happier. Give it a try is yummy, you won't regret“

“Went to the food hall for another restaurant, but it was closed. Staff at Fonda Moderna waved us over and wow am I glad they did. Very friendly and helped us decide what to get. Tacos were amazing. First time I have ever had a lobster taco, fantastic. The Birria was also excellent. Great food and great service, will absolutely go there again.“

“We live closer to the location off El Toro Rd, but the Newport Blvd location has Taco Tuesday. Both have excellent food (all days of the week), excellent service, excellent atmosphere. We never have a complaint. The physical quality of the chips is random, sometimes not warm-hot and sometimes not crisp, but always good tasting, never old. If the only thing I can mention is the chips, then the place is worth our visits a couple times per month.“

“Taquitos were absolutely Delicious!!! Thank you My new favorite spot when I come!“

“In a little corner of an unassuming strip of restaurants, water retailers, and miscellaneous vendors sits this diamond in the rough.
My carne asada torta ate like a panini with the bread thinned by the toaster, creating a crispy-ish texture wrapped around the savoury center that burst with flavor like fireworks!

The staff is welcoming and courteous. The matron speaks both English and Spanish, in case you fear ordering outside your native tongue.
Highly recommended. Aces all the way“

“10 Tomas E is an exceptional server Every time we have been served by Tomas It’s been excellent and always with a smile“

“Megan and Yesenia and Guadalupe and Saul were all amazing staff. I can’t recommend this location enough this is my first time coming to cafe rio and we absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back They brought a little souther hospitality to Cali coming from a Georgian“

“Being from North Texas we are very picky about our Mexican food and this place is very tasty, clean and friendly. Thank you for the wonderful food. See y’all soon“

“La quesadillas de pollo con guacamole me gusta mucho. thankyou guys.“

“My family and I come here way too often. We love it and have our go to items we go to. Chilaquiles with carnitas and a sunny side up egg, tacos de cecina (serranos are hot), pozole/menudo (my wife’s go to). Favorite brunch/breakfast spot in Orange County!

The staff has always been friendly and checks in if we need anything. We have two kids so they accommodated high chairs when we’ve needed it.

When you arrive just know that you’ll be told where to sit so you can’t save seats.“

“Wow. The torta cubana from here was delicious. 👌 The single heated chile and / or the smoky roasted chile that they put with salt was great. The green sauce and red sauce were really good as well. I wanted to try all three spicy options, but I think I over did it. 😅. I ate all three spicy options, and half of my torta and my stomach was full and burning 🔥 from the inside. I could feel my stomach crying and telling me to stop eating too much delicious chile 🌶 😄. I would not recommend anyone to eat all three spicy options. Next time time I will stay with one option. The agua de sandia was sweet and good. 🍉. It would be a good idea to dilute the drink with water. I appreciate the service here 🙏. Thank you.
They have a private restroom here. Clean tables. Enough parking.“

“Best garlic shrimp. �� I'd like to say other things on the menu are great too, but this garlic shrimp is too amazing that I've never ordered anything else. So far I've ordered it 3 times in the past month. AND La Michoacana is right next door. It doesn't get any better then that!“

“Spanish speaking establishment serves Mexican + (Salvadoran?) food. Chips and salsa are really tasty. Some worker gentlemen suggested the wet burrito (mojado) con carnitas. The menu was a home printed pictures of the food which looked really well prepared. Not surprising then the food comes out looks just like the pictures and tasting as good as it looks. Wife recommends huitlacoche quesadilla like she used to get in Coyocan. If you know, you know.This place is way out of our way, but I've already been assured we will be going back.“

“We were visiting from northern California, we asked the night crew if they could grill the meat a little more well done because we like our meat well-done. They did not disappoint at all. They went above and beyond. Service from this crew was great!!! This crew is what customer service is all about....Taking care of the customer. I appreciate the night crew supervisor and his team They were all flipping awesome!!!! 👍 I believe we visited the night of 1/4/2025 so the correct team gets the credit“

“This Taco Bell is located in the the Marketplace shopping center in Tustin. It's right next to In and out burger and Snooze AM eatery. The place is clean and the service is good. If you don't like spicy food make sure to ask for the removal of the jalapeno sauce.“

“I just want people to know how great the service is here. I work near by so this is my go to Taco Bell. Forgive me that I don’t know her name, but she might be a manager or not. She’s always so nice to me. Always tells me good morning when I come in. That really counts for something. No one rally every due it anymore. This is too her kind heart. Gracias. She is the employee in the early morning’s“

“I had a take - out medium mango ice tea on a happy hour. The take-out order was smooth. The order was taken by an interactive voice response system. No trouble in placing the order. The person who delivered the order was nice to talk to! Overall nice experience!“
